Chiyang glanced at Li Jingxing from time to time, but Li Jingxing just stared at the door curtain expressionlessly, unable to guess what he was thinking.
She didn't see the scene of Li Jingxing rescuing Li Jingye, but when Caixia mentioned it, she felt it was definitely not a coincidence.
[You two brothers won’t team up to steal Li Jingxiao’s rescue, right? 】
【Quite treacherous. 】
To be precise, it was Li Jingye who took the credit of Li Jingxiao's rescue, while Li Jingxing took the credit of Gu Qingzhi's rescue of the prince.
Chiyang also guessed that the reason why Li Jingxing generously asked Li Jingye to be the rescuer was not because he was sacrificing himself for others. It was probably because Li Zetian was too prejudiced against him. If he came to rescue the injured driver, Li Zetian's first reaction might not be... He is commendable for his loyalty and bravery, but people will suspect that he is acting in a cruel show.
But Li Jingye was different. In Li Zetian's eyes, the eldest son was a loyal and courageous person, and his rescue was a true and simple rescue.
So he simply "gives" the first-class credit to Li Jingye, and then "selflessly" saves Li Jingye. Li Zetian will not doubt his intentions, but will reflect on whether he has wrongly blamed him.
If Li Jingye explains to him again in front of Li Zetian, Li Zetian will definitely realize that he really misunderstood him, which will not only make Li Zetian feel guilty, but also greatly change his impression of him.
Thinking of this, Chiyang secretly glanced at Li Jingxing again.
[Okay, finally I am not as greedy for success as I was in my previous life. 】
The corners of Li Jingxing's mouth curled up slightly, and a look of pride flashed across his eyes.
He was ignorant because he never fought Li Jingxiao in his previous life, but if he repeats the same mistake in this life after Chiyang's reminder, he is really hopelessly stupid!
Less than half an hour later, Li Jingye's wounds were properly treated, and the imperial doctor came out to resume his life.
Li Zetian immediately asked: "How is the situation of the eldest prince?"
The leading physician bowed and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Highness is no longer in danger of life. Although the injury is serious, fortunately it did not damage the lifeline. As long as you rest well, you will be able to recover as before."
Li Zetian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Concubine Xian's tight body relaxed and she was supported by her grandma so she didn't fall down.
Li Zetian opened the curtain and entered the inner room, followed closely by Concubine Xian.
The others did not move and continued to wait outside for orders.
Li Jingye lost too much blood, and his face was bloodless and frighteningly pale. He subconsciously wanted to stand up and salute. Li Zetian quickly pressed him down and said kindly: "It's easy to lie down, no need to be polite."
Among his several sons, the fourth was his favorite, but the one he was most optimistic about was definitely the eldest son.
The eldest son is upright, loyal, courageous, decisive, brave and resourceful, and is the most suitable person to inherit his position.
Li Jingye didn't insist and lay back with peace of mind.
"Thank you, Father."
Concubine Xian walked up to Li Jingye and said, "Ye'er, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Li Jingye shook his head and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, mother and concubine. My son suffered more serious injuries on the battlefield. It's just a minor injury. He will be fine soon."
Li Zetian thought of Li Jingye's bravery and invincibility on the battlefield, and felt that his son was even more outstanding.
The father and son talked for a while. When Li Zetian saw that Li Jingye looked tired, he told him to have a good rest and come see him again tomorrow.
Before leaving, Li Jingye said to Concubine Xian: "Concubine, I would like to express my gratitude to my second brother on behalf of my son."
Concubine Xian saw clearly the scene of Li Jingxing saving Li Jingye. Regardless of whether it was true or false, if the prince had not taken action at that time, her son's life would have been lost at the hands of the assassin, so she accepted this love.
"Okay, mother and concubine will remember it."
Li Zetian's expression was unpredictable.
Li Jingye hesitated for a moment and then said: "Father, the attack on my son last time has nothing to do with my second brother."
The assassin who assassinated him did not directly admit that the mastermind behind the murder was Li Jingxiao. In addition, considering that Li Zetian was extremely fond of Li Jingxiao, he decided to conceal the results of the interrogation after discussing with Li Jingxing.
Afterwards, Li Zetian asked him if he had found out the results of the trial. At that time, he vaguely said that the assassin had a tough mouth and refused to tell the truth.
Li Zetian didn't think much about it, because the dead man's mouth couldn't be pried open.
Because there was no evidence, Li Zetian could not punish Li Jingxing severely, so he restrained him without any pain. However, he always felt in his heart that the murderer was Li Jingxing, so he was very dissatisfied with Li Jingxing.
Even though Li Jingxing had just rescued Li Jingye, he still couldn't completely dispel his suspicion.
Li Zetian thought that Li Jingye was excusing Li Jingxing because of the grace of saving his life. He was silent for a moment and said: "One code is the same, you don't have to feel ashamed because of what happened today."
Li Jingye shook his head and said sincerely: "Father, the second brother was assassinated when he accompanied the second sister back home. Two days ago, I went to find the second brother in private and found that the two groups have many similarities, so last time The thing is that I misunderstood my second brother, which caused my father to also misunderstand my second brother. I am at fault."
At the beginning, although he did not directly point out that the murderer was Li Jingxing, his attitude had already hinted everything, so he said that he had misunderstood Li Jingxing.
Li Zetian saw that Li Jingye's eyes were extremely sincere and did not look like he had gone against his true intentions. He began to wonder if he had wronged Li Jingxing again, and sighed for a long time: "It's best to have a misunderstanding."
Li Jingye looked relieved. Seeing that he looked tired, Li Zetian said, "You have a good life. I will give you justice to my second son."
Li Jingye said sincerely: "Thank you very much, Father."
He had wanted to reveal the truth to Li Zetian for a long time, but Li Jingxing told him that he had to tell it now, so he held it back until now.
After hearing her son's words, Concubine Xian's gratitude to Li Jingxing became much more genuine, and she thanked him very solemnly after coming out.
Li Zetian first ordered people to send the fifth, sixth and seventh princes back to the prince's residence. He also explained a few words to Li Jingyu and Li Jingxiao, and finally asked Li Jingxing to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with him.
Li Jingxing entered the hall, knelt on the ground consciously, lowered his head and remained silent.
Li Zetian was used to Li Jingxing's arguments, but was not used to his silence. He always felt that this was a new way of provoking someone, making him angry without any reason.
"You're mute!"
Li Jingxing raised his head: "What do you want your father to say?"
Li Zetian felt like he would be pissed to death by his son, so he suppressed his anger and asked, "Why don't you explain the attack on the boss?"
Li Jingxing showed a sarcastic wry smile: "Will my father believe it when I explain it to you?"
Li Zetian choked. If the boss hadn't taken the initiative to relieve the second child, he really wouldn't have believed it.
"Since it wasn't you who did it, I'll go to court as usual from tomorrow!"
Li Jingxing kowtowed and said, "My son, I obey."
"roll!"
"My son, I obey."
Li Zetian:......
